They are my pick to win the whole thing actually. That was my prediction before it started and I still think they can reach very far and possibly win.
Mine as well, but I expected Lahm at RB with Schweinsteiger and Klose to be starting. I had Italy second, should they have progressed and started playing like a real team.

I'm for Chile or France to win WC as they have played the most attractive football thus far.

On a sidenote, of FIFA does not ban Suarez for at least 10 games on the evidence from that photo, they are an absolutely corrupt joke.

    I can't say the US didn't impress me, they played amazing against Portugal. I don't think they can pull it off, though.
    Europe has pretty much choked in this competition to anybody but non-European competition. I see that pattern to continue.

    I don't like how Germany set up their team. IMO Lahm should always play as a RB and Bastian in the middle. Muller should also be in the middle with Schurlle as a winger. They also look much better with Klose/Podolski upfront.

    goals and entertainment aside, but this world cup has been nothing but a travesty in terms of officiating and from an organisational point of view, if fifa turn a blind eye on the latest chapter of suarez (which im sure they will) then real question marks has to be placed on the morals of the organisation if there hasn't been any already

    They would be a much more dangerous team then, I agree. Shame about Reus too. I like Germany, always had a soft spot for them.

    European teams have always been piss poor in any WC hosted in SA.



    It's good to see Europe's utter dominance end though. I mean, 7 of the last 8 WC semifinalists were European.
